Only those who have come from a country taken over by the Communists can ‘possibly realize the very great privilege that a free vote constitutes. This year Waterloo voters have a wide selection to choose from as aldermen. It is now up to the man with the privilege to vote to see that the council they deem best is elected. Here in this country we take it for granted. Too much so, for mamny do not bother to get out and register their opinion when élecâ€" tion day comes. _ Waterloo has steadily improved over the past few years in the amount of interest shown in candidates and the number of votes registered. For the most part, this has been because more publicity has been given both the achievements and the failings of council members and civic employees. Without good men at the head of the city administration, considerable of the taxpayers‘ money will be spent without accomplishing anything. Capable business men may spend just as much, but they will have considerable in the way of civic improvements to show for it. Peculiar as it may seem, those who will not take the trouble to vote are usually those who complain the most about those elected. The choice has been that of other voters. So regardless of the candidate of your choice, there is only one way he can get into office, by you voting him in.
